The Fort Myers roofing market
Fort Myers, with 82,254 residents, is a fast-growing Gulf Coast market anchored by healthcare, tourism, and retiree in-migration. Hurricane Ian's 2022 landfall triggered one of the largest insurance-driven roof replacement waves in Southwest Florida history, sustaining contractor demand well into subsequent years. The city's aging housing stock and ongoing new construction along the Caloosahatchee corridor keep the local roofing pipeline active across both residential replacement and new-build segments.

| Job | Cost | Weeks of pay |
